One rule for politicians and another for the plebs?

That's hilarious @xenia, in England the fatter and the whiter the man, the more likely he is to take off his shirt. I saw plenty of it when I lived in the UK.

One of his buddies seemed to be trying to tuck something in to the waistband of his shorts though
Well it wasn't his top he was tucking in anyway.

Maestro7 · 25/05/2020 21:58

@sawollya that’s his husband not his friend. The other guys stayed well away from him.

Maestro7 · 25/05/2020 21:58

@JaneJeffer see above.

Welcome to Mumsnet op, how nice of you to join just to post this Hmm

JaneJeffer · 25/05/2020 22:02

Eh?

BilboBercow · 25/05/2020 22:05

Oh dear op.
You fucked it.

bettertimesarecomingnow · 25/05/2020 22:10

Dominic? Is that you?

sawollya · 25/05/2020 22:18

Ah right, I didn't know which one was his husband.

pointythings · 25/05/2020 22:20

Look! A desperate Tory!

@bettertimesarecomingnow ha ha! Leo would have had to have mooned the amblers in Phoenix Park to outdo DomCum

That's his partner Grin

maresydoats · 25/05/2020 22:27

Varadkar and Team are such a class act in comparison to the shitshow of the Tory Government Team right now. Really.

Anyway, show's over now, and I hope deaths and cases reduce in UK very soon too.

EmeraldShamrock · 25/05/2020 22:32

It is funny to see your Taoiseach topless in the park. Grin
Glad it wasn't any of his predecessor's naked top half on display.
Sorry I've a filthy mind but I have to ask could it have been a hard on = One of his buddies seemed to be trying to tuck something in to the waistband of his shorts though

JaneJeffer · 25/05/2020 22:33

Ah come on Emerald who wouldn't want to see topless Biffo?

Grilledaubergines · 25/05/2020 22:33

Christ OP, you’re brave to criticise an Irish person on here. They get very defensive and can’t help but mud fling at anyone from the U.K.

LaurieMarlow · 25/05/2020 22:33

In England it is not really the done thing to take your top off in a park.

Grin Grin Grin

Died laughing at this.

Anyway, Leo’s partner is quite the hottie, so I think you’ll find little resistance.

LaurieMarlow · 25/05/2020 22:35

Is this the U.K. equivalent of Trump desperately trying to deflect blame to China?

chrislilleyswig · 25/05/2020 22:36

Right Xenia

I've never seen men in an English park with their puny white chests on display and their t-shirts hanging out their back pockets Hmm

Yearcat13 · 25/05/2020 22:36

No rules broken. That's why.

It is not ‘defensive’ to point out when someone’s talking bollocks.

HTH.

sawollya · 25/05/2020 22:40

@JaneJeffer lol, didn't somebody paint a picture of him, with huge moobs. Is it in the dail. I 'm getting confused now. Is this a bad dream

I feel like there exists somewhere a huge portrait of biffo with moobs
Boris should be careful. The artist could be persuaded to work similar magi on Bojo.

maresydoats · 25/05/2020 22:43

Snooty nosed pearl clutchers won't catch us canny Irish out, no sirree.

The exceptionalism and lack of savvy that some in UK (or should I say England) portray towards Irish people is often astounding, but there we are. We don't care, we are so much better. LO fkn L.

Now back to bickering about Cummings, well that's gone anyway, and kids going back to school, and should I report my neighbour and call the police. Honestly. Sad lives some live.

Anyway Vlad rocks!! And he is a Class Act.

Yearcat13 · 25/05/2020 22:43

Not defensive to point out lies is it? Shame on your mud flinging comment. Showing the OP has completely misunderstood a situation regarding an Irish person is nit mud flinging a UK oerson.

How on earth is that rational. You really dont need Irush people to point out the horrific dealing of this crisis by the UK government anyway, do you?
